Drop on Bailey?

In the new AW mag they have a picture of a drop on Bailey. Can someone tell which drop it is?

That left side sure as hell isn't a place that I want to be. that wall is so spooky looking. Everytime I run it I go right like my life depends on it.. And it just might.

class III is a little bit of a sand bag. It's definitely easier than a solid class V at low water, but with the doomy consequences.

when was the last time you ran a class III where you had to boof a 5' drop on a downstream ferry to avoid an undercut wall and a sticky hole.

yeah, i've been know to sandbag a bit. isn't that what mountainbuzz is for? to that end i know of one guy swimming above and over said drop and i witinessed another run it backward. so, doomy consequences might be as exaggerated as class III is sandbaged. so let's go with class IV and not as bad as it looks.

Swam it? What could possibly cause someone to swim above four falls? There's nothing there!

A good friend of mine ran it, got worked, swam, and ended up going under that wall. Luckily he popped out but it was very very scary. He said he felt like he was in a tunnel and at one point got momentarily wedged under there......I would say doomy consequences......YES.....
